NATA's Attempts End To Overturn NFPA 407 Decision
NATA’s final petition attempt to overturn the decision to enforce new NFPA 407 requirements for automatic fuel overfill protection systems was dismissed.
For FBOs and other fuel providers required to operate under the tenets of NFPA 407, the dismissal of NATA's petition over the requirements for redundant automatic overfill protection devices at airport tank farms and on refuelers may mean having to outlay thousands of dollars in retrofits and scramble for compliance with the measure, which takes effect next week.

The National Air Transportation Association's (NATA) final petition attempt to overturn the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards Council's decision to enforce new NFPA 407 requirements for automatic fuel overfill protection systems at all airport loading racks that are compatible with mobile refuelers was dismissed this week, effectively shutting down NATA’s last avenue of relief under the standards development process.
